Objective: You will learn how to compare and order fractions, including mixed numbers and improper fractions, by renaming them to the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD).
You know that… • fractions with the same denominator can be readily compared • two fractions with differing denominators can be renamed by applying the LCD
Compare and order fractions, including improper fractions and mixed numbers, by using the LCD. • Strategy • Get all numbers to the same form • Get all numbers to have common denominators
Solve a problem involving the comparison and ordering of mixed numbers. Problem: Compare 4/5 and 5/16. • Strategy • Rename the fractions to the LCD
Conclusion: You learned how to compare and order fractions, including mixed numbers and improper fractions, by renaming them to the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD). • To simplify fractions to lowest terms, apply the GCF • To rename or compare fractions, apply the LCM
